ST.. LOUIS, January 5.-The express rob
bers we're not taken to the penitentiary to
day, as was expected thsy would be, but
they viii be sent up tomorrow. In a brief
interview with Witrock this morning, that
worthy gave bit OF information not before
made public. which was to the effect that he
specially stipulated with the detectives that
they must lift the mortgage on his mothers
house before he would ''tuFn up' any of tbs
stolen money. This, he said, they promised
to do, and added that it was done when they
went out to LesvenWorth, and thus his chief
object in Eobbing the express car was accom-
plished. The mortgage was for 81, 200.
The grand jury has found an indictment
against Dan MOriarty, charging him with
being an accessory to the robbery both be-
fore and after the fact. He mas not bsen
arrested yet, and it Is said that he will not
be prosecuted, as it was through information
derived from him that Witroek and his pals
were arrested.

TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY II.

At RECENT meeting of the Springfield
branch of the national association of
stationary engineers, the following article
was adopted
This association shall at no time be used
for the furtherance of strikes, or in any way
interfering between its members and their
employers in regard to wages, recognizing
the identity Of interests between employer
and employe not countenancing any pro-
iect or enterprise that will interfere with
perfect harmony between them ; neither
shall it be used for political or religious pur-
poses. Its meetings shall be devoted to the
business of the association, and at all times
preference shall. be given to the educating
and helping work contemplated IN the
formation Of this Order"
If all the numerous labor organizations
in the country had acted in accordance with
the spirit OF the article referred to during
the year recently closed, the aggregate saw
ing to the members thereof in wages would
have amounted to millions of dollars, to say
nothing of the ether millions that were lost
by their employers, and by the expenditure
of which they would also have received

CONGRESSMAN WISE saws:

Tobacco is the money crop of half the
tilers of the soil of Virginia, and to tax it is
to tax them for not only one, but all the
accessories Of life, as it affords the income
with which to purchase them for themselves
and families know that it is urged that
the consumer pays The tax. Whilst this Is
in one sense corset. still the tax affects
largely the demand for the manufactured
product, and in that way bears not only up
on the raw staple, but upon the labor en-
ployed ia its manufacture, and ell else
which is an clement of its price,
Mr.Wise should know, if he doesn't, that,
unjust as it is, it is not the light Internal
revenue tax that is buriensome to the to-
bacco growers Of Virginia. butthe enormous
tax that is Imposed on Virginia tobacco by
foreign governments in retaliation for the
high tariff imposed by this country on for
eign products, and 'shich, by reducing the
foreign demand for tobacco, gluts the home
market, ana thereby necessarily reduces
the price of that article, and consequently
the profits fills producers.
